Overnight, the Bridge team of National Geographic Sea Bird navigated from Ketchikan to Misty Fjords National Monument. There we took off in small groups by kayak and Zodiac to explore scenic Walker Cove and enjoy the old growth forest clinging to the glacially carved granite walls soaring thousands of feet above us. Salmon jumped in the streams, and eagles flew overhead. After lunch, we had a presentation from Lisa Hornak, our Photo Instructor, and then we took to the bow as we cruised Behm Canal, enjoyed the gorgeous scenery, looked for wildlife, and practiced our new photography skills. In the evening, we were treated to an unforgettable sunset! What a fantastic start to our journey!

Cascade Creek and Scenery Cove
This morning, National Geographic Sea Lion anchored at Cascade Creek, a stunning destination for hikes in the temperate rainforest of Southeast Alaska. From the smallest of lichens and mosses to the tallest western hemlock trees and Sitka spruces, our guests learned from our naturalists as they hiked along Cascade Creek. In the afternoon, we explored Scenery Cove on Zodiacs, getting familiar with the rocky coast. In the evening, we spent time looking for marine mammals from the bow of the ship. It was another amazing day in Southeast Alaska.
